Check out St. Paul's School for engineering and robotics. SPS offers several engineering class and has a FIRST robotics team. Their new math & science building has wonderful facilities used for engineering/robotics.

I thirdly endorse the Robotics program at SPS. Top notch, my son did a summer program at Stanford and is off to engineering college next year. SPS has a great nurturing program, physics/math really has been the best thing about SPS for him.
